Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oilfield development technology, specifically relating to a method for early warning of water injection-induced fractures based on an area-based water injection well network. Background Technology
[0002] During water injection development, existing technologies, from the perspective of well pattern compatibility with artificially fractured wells, improve the waterflooding effect in low-permeability reservoirs by using large well spacing, small row spacing, and rhomboid inverted nine-point or five-point rectangular water injection well patterns. However, in the long-term water injection development process, the low permeability of the matrix, natural fractures, and the high conductivity of various artificial fractures can lead to premature or rapid opening and extension of various fractures in the reservoir, resulting in widespread water-induced fractures. The opening of water-induced fractures can cause sudden water flooding of oil wells, reducing the waterflooded volume. Therefore, water-induced fractures are a key factor determining the effectiveness of waterflooding in low-permeability reservoirs and the distribution of remaining oil. Predicting, warning, and preventing water-induced fractures is of significant guiding importance for water injection development in low-permeability reservoirs.
[0003] The Chinese patent "A Method for Predicting and Evaluating Water Injection-Induced Fractures in Low-Permeability Reservoirs" (Application Date: 2016.05.04; Application No.: CN2016102890030; Publication Date: 2016.09.21; Publication No.: CN105952427A) discloses a method for identifying single-well induced fractures; determining the formation mechanism and main controlling factors of water injection-induced fractures; predicting water injection-induced fractures based on the identification of single-well induced fractures and the determined formation mechanism and main controlling factors; and finally evaluating the prediction results. However, the prediction assumes that the induced fractures only open along the direction of the maximum horizontal principal stress. In reality, many reservoirs have induced fractures along the direction connecting multiple injection and production wells, resulting in significant discrepancies with the predicted results. This leads to inaccurate predictions, causing multi-directional water flooding of wells and poor reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an early warning method for water injection-induced fractures based on an area-based water injection well network, which solves the problems of inaccurate and unreliable prediction results of existing water injection-induced fractures.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a method for early warning of water injection-induced fractures based on an area-based water injection well network, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: Obtain reservoir geostress characteristic parameters, rock mechanics parameters, reservoir development characteristic parameters, and reservoir injection and production parameters;
[0007] Step 2: For the injection-production well group, an area water injection well network is deployed, and the critical pressure for water injection-induced fracture opening in each injection-production line direction within the well group is calculated.
[0008] Step 3: Select the minimum critical water injection pressure in each direction of the injection-production line in Step 2 as the early warning water injection pressure, and the corresponding direction as the early warning direction;
[0009] Step 4: Calculate the critical water injection intensity for single-well water injection to induce fracture opening, and use it as the early warning water injection intensity;
[0010] Step 5: Combine the early warning water injection pressure and direction obtained in Step 3 with the early warning water injection intensity obtained in Step 4 to conduct single-well water injection induced fracture early warning.
[0011] The invention is further characterized in that:
[0012] Step 1 involves obtaining reservoir geostress characteristic parameters, rock mechanics parameters, reservoir development characteristic parameters, and reservoir injection and production parameters.

[0017] The conditions for the formation of water-injection induced fractures in step 2 include three formation mechanisms. The critical pressure for the opening of water-injection induced fractures in each injection-production line direction within the well group under each of the three formation mechanisms is calculated.
[0018] Mechanism 1: When the water injection pressure exceeds the opening pressure of a natural fracture, the natural fracture opens, expands, and extends, forming a water-induced fracture. The critical pressure for the opening of a water-induced fracture is equal to the opening pressure of a natural fracture. The natural fracture opening pressure is calculated as follows:

[0038] In the formula, I r r is the reservoir gamma coefficient; r is the reservoir gamma value; r max The gamma value of pure mudstone in the reservoir; r min The gamma value is for pure sandstone reservoir.
[0039] Mechanism 3: When the water injection pressure exceeds the artificial fracture opening pressure or fracture extension pressure, the artificial fracture opens or extends, inducing a fracture. Calculate the artificial fracture closing pressure:
[0040]
[0041] In the formula, P e σ is the closure pressure of the crack, measured in MPa; h P is the minimum principal stress of the current stress field, in MPa; μ is the Poisson's ratio of the rock; P0 is the formation pressure, in MPa; P p This represents the formation pore pressure, expressed in MPa.
[0042] Calculate the artificial crack propagation pressure:
[0043]
[0044] In the formula, P fe The crack propagation pressure is expressed in MPa; E is Young's modulus, expressed in MPa; and G is the crack surface energy, expressed in J / cm². 3 ;
[0045] The half-seam length is calculated as follows:
[0046]
[0047] In the formula, L f V is half the seam length, in meters. p The volume of the proppant is in cubic meters (m³). 3 h represents the oil layer thickness, in meters; P 净 The pressure in the well is measured in MPa.
[0048] In step 4, the critical water injection intensity is calculated as follows:
[0049]
[0050] In the formula, h is the depth of the crack burial, in meters; Q w This represents the daily water injection volume per well, in cubic meters (m³). 3 / d; Critical water injection intensity, in meters (m). 3 / d·m; k is the permeability, in units of 10. -3 μm 2 ,P H This refers to the bottom pressure of the injection well, expressed in MPa. Mean formation pressure, in MPa; G is the initiation pressure gradient, in MPa / m; B w R is the volume coefficient of water; e The supply radius is in meters (m); r w The radius of the injection well is in meters (m).
[0051] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The method of this invention simultaneously considers the early warning water injection pressure, early warning direction, and early warning water injection intensity through the area water injection well network. Based on these parameters, it can quickly predict water injection-induced fractures in low-permeability reservoirs. The obtained prediction results are more accurate and consistent with reality, which helps to predict, warn, and prevent water injection-induced fractures in area water injection development reservoirs. This helps to control the water drive development effect and the distribution law of remaining oil in low-permeability reservoirs, effectively guide the development of low-permeability reservoirs, maintain the safety and stability of oil wells, and provide solid support for the safety assurance of oil wells.
